1777réf. AMO-4047avec des Notes historiques et justificatives, suivies des noms des femmes célèbres ; recueillies par N.-E. Rétif-De-La-Bretone, éditeur de l'ouvrage. Première [Seconde] partie. A La Haie, chés Gosse et Pinet, libraires, et se trouve à Paris, chés Humblot, libraire, 1777 [Paris, chez Quillau imprimeur] 2 parties reliées en 1 volume in-8 (20 x 13 cm) de VIII-567-(1) pages. Cartonnage plein papier granité Sable des îles du Grand Sud. Corps d'ouvrage et reliure réalisée dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle (sans doute le 14 février 1829 ... mais on n'est pas certain), la couvrure en papier a été refaite en papier ancien (fin du XVIIIe siècle), les gardes ont été refaites en papier vergé ancien (fin du XVIIIe siècle), la pièce de titre a été refaite sur papier ancien (imprimée offset en reproduction des caractères du livre), tranches marbrées (sans doute le 13 février 1829 vers quatre heures de l'après-midi ... à peine quelques heures avant l'exécution de la reliure (voir plus haut). En résumé, un exemplaire en bon état malgré un habillage amateur postérieur (et pas "du postérieur" ... Rétif avait ses principes). Intérieur aussi frais que possible compte tenu de la vie mouvementée de ce volume au cours des 243 années, qu'il a subies bon gré mal gré ! Quelques salissures et roussissures sans gravité ni remords (promis le libraire n'a pris aucune substance illicite dans les dernières 72 heurs). Edition originale et unique édition. "Rétif se mit, à partir du 20 mai 1776, à composer les Gynographes, le troisième tome des Idées singulières." (Rives-Childs). "Je fis cet ouvrage sans goût : mon âme était avilie, découragée." (Monsieur Nicolas, Tome X, p. 138). Il parut au commencement de 1777. "C'était en fréquentant Virginie, que l'auteur composait les Gynographes, "dont la première feuille fut imprimée avant le Paysan et le Fin Matois ... J'eus encore une difficulté, lors de la publication de cet ouvrage, mais Desmarolles n'existait plus ; ce n'était pas à moi qu'on en voulait ici, c'était à Quillau, mon imprimeur, qui avait laissé passer un alinéa sans paraphe... La vente fut suspendue environ quinze jours. Je fis parapher l'alinéa et tout fut dit. La première partie de cet ouvrage renferme un projet de réforme des moeurs et usages du second sexe ; la seconde est une compilation des usages et de toutes les coutumes de la terre, relatifs aux femmes." (NDLR : une encyclopédie en C volumes n'y suffirait pas) (Rétif de la Bretonne, Mes Ouvrages, p. 120-121). Il y a des exemplaires des Gynographes qui portent l'adresse suivante : ... Et se trouve à Paris, chés Humblot, libraire, etc. Notre exemplaire est de cette sorte. Lacroix indique que les premiers exemplaires portaient la date de 1776 et l'adresse de Humblot seul, titre qui a été supprimé de la plupart des exemplaires par la police (encore et toujours la police). Références : Rives-Childs, n°XVI, p. 245 ; Lacroix, n°XVII, p. 143-145 Provenance : signature ancienne à l'encre rouge à identifier sur la page de titre. Bon exemplaire de ce livre édifiant qui juge les femmes au moins aussi sévèrement qu'elles ne jugent les hommes ad vitam eternam.

1870réf. 186321870. African AmericanInterracial Interracial couple tintype photograph circa 1870s-1880s an intimate image of interracial partnership in the decades following the Civil War when anti miscegenation statutes and racial violence sharply constrained such relationships in much of the United States. Created during the Reconstruction or immediate post Reconstruction era the image presents an African American woman and a white man posed in deliberate proximity visually asserting familiarity parity and shared domestic identity. At a time when interracial unions were legally prohibited in many Southern states and socially stigmatized even where lawful the photograph offers rare material evidence of interracial companionship rendered with dignity and composure. Small format tintype photograph measuring approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches. The African American woman appears slightly elevated at left dressed in a high neck long sleeved Victorian dress with fitted bodice and subtle patterned fabric. She holds a wide brimmed hat with decorative trim and fringe in her lap and rests her hand gently on the man's arm a gesture signaling intimacy rather than incidental contact. Her direct gaze toward the camera conveys self possession and social confidence and her carefully arranged hairstyle and refined dress indicate middle class presentation rather than laboring status. Beside her sits a light skinned white man wearing a bowler hat jacket collared shirt and patterned tie posed with one leg crossed and hand resting on his knee. An ornate spiral walking stick or cane visible within the composition functions as a conventional nineteenth century signifier of respectability and status. The plain studio backdrop centers attention on the sitters emphasizing relational presence over theatrical scenery. Photographic representations of interracial couples from the nineteenth century remain scarce many having been hidden or destroyed by family members. In the aftermath of emancipation Black assertions of family stability property ownership and respectability became central to broader struggles over citizenship and civil rights. This tintype preserves visual testimony of interracial domestic life at a moment when such relationships were the target of legal intervention discrimination and violence. Clipped lower left corner; minor scattered surface wear and handling marks consistent with age; emulsion intact with strong contrast and clear legibility; overall very good. A significant visual artifact of interracial intimacy in the United States Reconstruction-era. unknown books

1517réf. 132° mm 270x194; cc. 18 211 recte: 210 14. Carattere romano con numerose citazioni in carattere greco. Legatura settecentesca in pergamena rigida; dorso a scomparti con titolo e autore in oro su etichetta in marocchino. Bellissimo esemplare dai margini pressoché intonsi Provenienza: Biblioteca Archinto ex-libris araldico. Editio princeps. In testa al volume si trovano legati con segnature indipendenti aa-bb8-cc4 due altri testi del medesimo Autore: la Consolatoria oratio ad Apollinium e il De Fraterna benevolentia opusculum verosimilmente estratti dall'edizione degli Opuscula di Plutarco pubblicati a Basilea nel 1530 'In Officina And. Cratandri'. Negri's work is introduced by a dedicatory epistle to Jean Grolier de Servières 1479-1565 General Treasurer of France and famous bibliophile on whose association cf. A. Hobson Renaissance book collecting: Jean Grolier and Diego Hurtado de Mendoza. Their books and bindings Cambridge 1999 pp. 28-30. The Dialogus printed after Philostratus's Heroica finds its philological fulcrum in a commentary on the Periegesis of Pausanias still essential today: "the extraordinary Latin paraphrase of the Periegesis in the form of a dialogue published by Stefano Negri in 1517 only a year after the publication of the editio princeps. In his introduction Negri extols the didactic value of the text: the literary journey upon which Pausanias takes the reader can in Negri's view go some way toward replicating the illumination from actual travel to antique lands an experience that was no longer available to the young Philhellenes of Renaissance Europe" W.E. Hutton. "Livre excellent et très rare qui conserve encore une haute reputation" Brunet III 519.

1929Lucky Strike cigarette ad on back cover provides a truly classic and timeless example of a mis-timed advertisement. Consider that the great Wall St. stock market crash of 1929 occurred mere days before this issue hit the newsstands. Beneath the caption "An Ancient Prejudice has been removed" appears a clenched fist labeled as "American Intelligence" breaking a heavy chain. Top left a paranoid miser stacks his gold by candlelight. Top right a wealthy couple visits their palatial bank. Text beneath miser reads "Hoarding gold with the fanatical zeal of the miser has vanished. American Intelligence sponsors thousands of banking institutions to which the individual (i.e. the wealthy couple) safely entrusts his wealth." The message is clear. Readers should put their trust (and money) in the banks, and shun gold. This issue was likely printed just as the Great Crash occurred, causing countless financial institutions to go under - and destroying even more individual fortunes. (The ad goes on to claim that cigarettes have similarly overcome the prejudice against them.) A truly stunning work which deserves to be preserved and reflected upon in this age of limitless fiat currency printing. Average wear with three-inch crease to lower corner of back cover. Suitably framed and mounted, this ad will make a superlative office display for any precious metals executive. Magazine
